Thank you so very much! I am amazed at how much information you found so quickly.
So was Albert Hiles brother of Albert whose wife was Eva?
And then James is their father?

You are right this is addictive, I'm loving it so amazing unearthing this information. My Dad, (Kenneth Albert Miles 1939) Albert 1905's only son knows no history of our family so it's amazing. I can't wait to tell him. Once I find out more. I guess that is the thing though. You don't know what you don't know do you. That's the intrigue for me.

Thanks Steve.

Hello Angela,

It's just a mistranscription of the name from the original image of the census which Steve thinks reads MILES.

Sometimes when the names can't be read they are guessed and then entered and it makes it harder to find families. Could explain why Steve can't find them so far in 1871 and 1881.

I'll have a look for them in 1881. I don't have access to 1871.

EDIT: No luck with 1881.

Regards,

Dave

Now you are all going to think I am fanciful here but the address is the same as on the 1891 where Frederick Miles is living. The father is the same, the children's dob are different, father's occupation the same and I can't find any Humphries before or after in Barrow. Have checked the original and it is Humphries. Now I need to find who is living at 26 Hood street in the 1871.

Ideas please..
Barbara

Hello Barbara,

I tried the same thing assuming I didn't know the family name trying to match other data and I didn't find a family that fitted.

I'm wondering about this marriage:


James Humpheres
England Marriages, 1538–1973
marriage: 02 Apr 1854 Saint Thomas,​Dudley,​Worcester,​England
spouse: Harriet Booth

I looked in RD Ulverston for Alfred, Hannah and Albert +/- 2 years using no family name and found nothing that looked like either Humphries or Miles.

Regards,

Dave

Ah well at least you didn't tell me I had had too much red wine!:D

Who knows what name he used for registering his bairns.

Will wait until Angela gets back to us and look again.

Ah a fellow red wine lover, I like you already!

I am now getting confused even before a glass. Do you have the wedding certificate for the Albert who was married to Eva so we know who the father was. It certainly looks like James and there is a James but he disappears in 1871 and replaces himself with a James Humphries but lives at the same house as Frederick, Albert's brother is living in 10 years later. No wonder I am confused.:
